Adding the Train Times Widget

The Train Times widget is a “classic” widget which can only be added to the “Today” screen. This is because it needs to aggressively refresh to show the latest data which isn’t supported with the modern widgets that you can add to any of your home screens.

RSSRadio Premium

Hi everyone,

I'm writing to let you know about some important changes that affect old RSSRadio Premium purchases.

Unfortunately, due to some upcoming API deprecations at Apple, I'm no longer able to validate your previous purchases of RSSRadio Premium. This means that in the latest updates to RSSRadio you will see ads whereas in previous versions you were grandfathered in to no ads without a subscription.

I know it’s never nice to lose something and I apologize for the frustration it may cause. However, I do think it’s important to recognise that RSSRadio Premium was last sold in 2019. I hope you have found value in the many years since your purchase.

I'm asking all previous Premium customers to please subscribe to RSSRadio again.

I appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued support.

Daniel

The end of the road for iSitter

iSitter Baby Monitor Discontinued

iSitter, the mobile app that I developed to help parents monitor their babies, will be discontinued on June 15th, 2023.

I started iSitter in June 2011 after checking into a hotel and not getting an adjoining room for my kids, with the goal of making it easier for parents to keep an eye on their babies, even when they're not home. The app was a success, and I was able to help thousands of parents monitor their babies.

However, in recent years, the cost of running iSitter has increased significantly. The cost of hosting the app, supporting it, and marketing has become too high. As a result, iSitter is no longer profitable.

I'm disappointed to have to discontinue iSitter, but I believe it is the best decision for my business. I want to focus my time and energy on developing my existing successful products.

I want to thank all of you who have used iSitter. I appreciate your support and feedback. I hope that you will continue to use my other products, including RSSRadio and UK Train Times.
